Let's Talk About | Night Of Champions: Riyadh | Avengers Endgame: WrestleMania 40 Night Two Deja Vu?


We are back with more wrestling conversations, this time in regards to Night Of Champions which took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Let's Talk About It (shoutout to Trick Williams) 

King Of The Ring Tournament Final
Randy Orton vs Cody Rhodes
It has been quite a while since we last saw Randy Orton vs Cody Rhodes, otherwise known as the "Legacy" match, Randy did a great job in regards to selling being hurt, Cody has won this years King Of The Ring tournament and has now earned the right to challenge for the WWE Championship at Summerslam, whereas Randy has now lost two tournaments in a row in Saudi.      

Street Fight
Rhea Ripley vs Raquel Rodriguez
Rhea & Raquel have had a storied rivalry themselves, from friends to foes, you know the usual cliche's, Raquel lost the Street Fight, despite help from Roxanne, Liv Morgan is currently out with a legitimate injury and will be keeping a close eye on this situation until she returns.  

Sami Zayn vs Karrion Kross 
It is genuinely awesome to see and hear Karrion Kross & Scarlett finally get their deserved flowers from the WWE Fanbase lately, they are such an underrated duo in the world of professional wrestling, I'm looking forward to seeing what they do next on WWE TV, Tick- Tock.

Congratulations to Sami Zayn for his win, the Royal Rumble is in Riyadh next year as well, he is my early pick to win the Men's Royal Rumble Match. 

United States Championship Match
Jacob Fatu (c) vs Solo Sikoa
The Jacob versus Solo story has been brewing ever since The American Werewolf found his voice and finally said he hated Solo at Money In The Bank, the United States Championship added more to fuel to this fire, fans have been asking about the whereabouts of Hikuleo for a while, this question has now been answered as he and the returning Tonga Loa helped Solo win the United States Championship. 

Is this the start of yet another chapter of the Bloodline Story? it looks that way at the moment, Solo and his group currently have four members, Jacob is on his own and could call The Usos and someone else for help. Yadadamean?  

Queen Of The Ring Tournament Final
Asuka vs Jade Cargill
Congratulations to Jade for winning the Queen Of The Ring, she will challenge for the Women's Championship at SummerSlam, She will need to Proceed With Caution, hopefully we will see Iyo vs Asuka for the Women's World Championship at the same event as well.

WWE Championship Match
John Cena (c) vs CM Punk
We have reached the main event of the evening, we already knew about the history of John Cena & CM Punk, the build up was brilliant, we revisited some nostalgic promos and pipe bombs, the match itself started off at a snails pace, but business picked up when the referee was knocked down which led to Avengers Endgame 2.0, the latest version since WrestleMania 40 Night Two, including Mr Money In The Bank, Seth Rollins, a lot of people were chanting for Roman Reigns, the OTC did not answer the call, his return is imminent. 

After all the chaos and shenanigans, John is still the WWE Champion, as expected, his next defence will be at SummerSlam
 against Cody Rhodes. We shall see (no pun intended) who wins because a new champion being crowned is not a foregone conclusion.
